Selected applicants will have their work displayed in the Paintworks Event Space across the BOP 24 festival weekend, in front of 3,000+ visitors and industry experts. BOP – Books on Photography – is the annual photobook festival from Martin Parr Foundation and The Royal Photographic Society, held in Bristol each October.
